This place is truly a Michelin rated. The tsukemen are excellent flavors with 3 types of noodles to choose from. The broth is not heavy at all and tasty. The regular size bowl looks small, but it fills me up. The pork is a big portion and very tender. Excellent customer service.

How do I start off this review? I saw it was a Michelin guide restaurant (not star) but thought it was interesting to try. So I went on a 85°c day, but it was boiling hot inside like the air conditioner was out. I dont know if this is a regular issue but even the workers werent happy with the heat. Not exactly the most pleasant of atmosphere but thats fine if the food is good. I started off with a karaage which was great. It was crispy, cooked to perfection and had a great sauce to go with it(Kewpie). Then we get started with the spicy red ramen. While the noodles and accompanying ingredients are great and plentiful, the broth thats used for it is definitely a disappointment. Simply put, its way too salty even if we say its authentic, because authentic ramen is nowhere near this salty. While its definitely flavorful, the saltiness just overpowers everything. Id love to say its only my ramen that was affected but other people with me who got the white ramen also had the same complaints about saltiness. I wouldnt be coming here again even if the reviews from others are great or the prices of salt skyrocket.

Well, I found my new favorite Ramen place. Square’ish Hira-uchi noodle, Yu-giri is perfect (how noodle is boiled and raised out, water cut. Beautiful.) Chashu, also perfect! Soup, yes!!! A spot every ramen lover should have a bowl.

I really dont get why people are raving about this place. I wouldnt trust trends and fads regarding food. This restaurant was a recommended restaurant on michelins site as bib gourmand in 2022, not a michelin star which people keep stating. I dont know how it tasted in 2022, but its 2023 and tastes very lacking, salty, too thick, noodles have too much starch(added with a thick soup, turned into a porridge).

You have to go! Life changing stuff here. Great service and amazing food. The appetizers are yummy too. Hits the spot every single time, it’s honestly an out-of-body experience. I recommend the white miso.

First time trying this place out and fell in love with the broth. I normally just eat noodle and the toppings but finished entire bowl this time. Yes, I was very full but could not help myself slurping soup until it was gone. They have kids menu which was a plus and it was quite larger than I thought itd be.

Highly recommend if you like thick ramen noodles!! Both the ramen and Tuskemen are excellent and the portions are huge. Everyone should try it out!

It truly earned the Michelin Star. The tsukemen was excellent. Nice thick noodles and a perfect broth with excellent depth to dip into. Plan for a potential wait. Staff was friendly. Food was perfect. Stomach and heart were satiated. Highly recommended even for repeat visits. A ramen expert can tell the high quality care and attention that is given to each ingredient. A great spot I drove hours just to try and it was worth it.

TL;DR Small but mighty shop selling Michelin star Miso Ramen.Went on a Tuesday night and this place was hopping. Very busy and popular and for good reason! Shop is small, about 15-20 person occupancy with some outside seating. They specialize in miso style ramen and tsukemen (you dip the noodles in a thicker broth). A small, focused menu helps you know youre getting quality.We got some chicken kaarage (fried chicken) and it was delicious and crispy dark meat. I ordered the red miso base chashuu ramen (comes with several pork slices, veggies, and a marinated soft-boiled egg). The broth was hearty and deep in flavor. Unlike other places, I didnt immediately feel the need to add garlic or pepper to enjoy the soup.Really excellent place and would recommend to any friends who come into the area. Just be prepared to wait a while and be kind to the small staff, the wait is worth it.

Got the large Chasu White Miso Ramen with a side order of the Spicy Tao and man, this was probably the best ramen I’ve had in a long time! Definitely interested in going back again to try the rest.

A simple menu with a lot of options.Came here late afternoon on a Sunday and it was not busy. There are about 5 tables and a small counter, so be prepared to wait on a busy day.I ordered a combo with the miso Tsukemen ramen and the chashu bowl. The chashu had a great meat too rice ratio. The chashu was minced and tender.I dont have Tsukemen too often so it was nice having a thick and strong broth with thick ramen noodles. The perfect amount if food to leave me full.

This is the type of ramen that gives me a high. It’s a memorable experience eating this tsukemen. The noodles were delicious nice and thick, and held the broth beautifully. Every slurp left a smile on my face. Nice job to the team here! Worth the wait and travels.

Review №14

2023-10-15 03:18:48

Probably the best ramen Ive ever had. The place is very small so you may have an issue getting a table but they do have a bar if youre eating alone. Will definitely be back again.

First time here. Yummy food, and good service! I tried the spicy red miso ramen, and my son had the miso tsukemen. Both were amazing good!! Although head up, the spicy red ramen is very spicy. 🔥🔥I had a heartburn and a headache from it. So don’t mix all the spicy sauce into the soup.

First time & I must say not too bad.Im not a fan of noodles but have to admit amazing!Octopus fried balls were good as well as the pot stickers and steam dumplings.

Pleasant experience, authentic tsukemen from Japanese chefs. Large size will make you really full so if you want to have a comfortable meal you can get a normal size.

Review №18

2023-02-04 22:36:28

Large ramen bowl, broth and noodles to the top of the bowl! Rich miso broth and simple menu, small seating area means your party of eight will need to split up, but for solo dining I like this place.

If youre looking for great Tsukemen (like Tsujita) in OC look no further. Chef Sano trained in Japan at Tsujita and came here to open Ramen & Tsukemen TAO. I love Tsujita myself and you can taste the similarities as well as the Chefs own personal touch to the broth flavor. Super reccomended if youre a fan of tsukemen.

Great place for ramen, seating is limited. We try both regular ramen and the dipping ramen tsukemen. The regular ramen is really good, better than Santoukas broth and noodles. The dipping ramen is more salty and the noodles are flatter and thicker. We get corn, egg, mushroom and bean sprouts add on totaling $17 for the tsukemen. Price is great for what you get. The only downside is the seating space inside is small and there are some seatings outside but its going to be hot in the day and dark at night. Overall I recommend but go at opening when its not busy.

Wanted to try this place since its very close to where I live. Went with something simple. Ordered 1 rice&beef bowl (gyu-don) and an order of potstickers (gyoza). I give a 7 out of 10. Staff was very nice. Very small location. Maybe 15-20 capacity.Also hot inside. Need to crank the ac.I may come back at some point my sons love ramen. I would recommend this place to others.

Review №22

2022-12-26 04:57:23

Gotta admit the tsukemen flavor was pretty damn good. Unfortunately, the chasu was a little tough and dry. The noodle was alright. Good service. Kind of small venue so it’s pretty authentic Japanese ramen shop.

Review №23

2019-11-01 09:15:58

Wow!! If you want delicious and authentic ramen, come here! The broth here is very rich and savory but not too salty. The noodles have a nice satisfying texture. However, the true star is the pork chasu! The chasu is extremely flavorful and the texture is delicate and not very fatty. Definitely a good ramen spot to try but be wary there isnt much parking!

I never was a fan of authentic Ramen, eating here. The. Favor was awesome and the texture of the noodles 🍜... wow.I definitely recommend 👌.I had waited over an hr in line and the wait was worth it.

Easily some of the best ramen I’ve ever had. I’d like to think I’m very picky about taste and I’ve had somewhere around 70 different ramen places from all around including Japan. This is about as authentic as it gets and the service is very good. On some occasions, it’d just be one waiter and they manage a full building very well.

Me n my best friend were day drinking and desperately wanted noodles. Small space for sure but I love it lol coming back to visit home and find a place like this just made me so happy. The food, atmosphere, drinks, everything was great for me and definitely a great memory from visiting home. And I desperately want to go back.

Review №28

2023-08-27 05:18:41

Originally my review was 5 stars but I have since downgraded it to 2. The food is just no longer good, and definitely not Bib Gourmand worthy. When I first discovered this spot it had yet to receive the BG, and everything about it was perfect. Nowadays, the dishes are too salty, noodles are not the same as before, and the meats (ie chashu) are just poorer quality compared to the pre-BG years. The price has also increased, and I do not think this place is worth a visit at all anymore.

Wow! Id never had Tsukamen with cold dipping noodles before. I found my new love! I had these spicy and it was about medium or less, perfect spiciness! I am coming back for sure!

Found a tsukemen ramen shop that didnt require driving down to Little Tokyo. Ramen & Tsukemen Tao had four stars and several positive reviews from my Yelp buddies. Ive never tried tsukemen dipping ramen before and knew it existed during my visits to Daikokuya, but I automatically go with their delicious bowl of tonkatsu ramen. I was curious about the method of dipping the cold noodles to the miso soup, and four stars with several positive reviews from my Yelp buddies, I gave it a try.The miso tsukemen ($11.15) came with a slice of chasu pork, chopped onions, bamboo shoots, and a lime slice. Also included inside the plastic bowl was a tiny container of water so that if you want to enjoy the meal inside your car, you will use the water to separate and untangle the noodles. Hahaha correct me if Im wrong; this was my first tsukemen experience. Added the soft-boiled ajitama/egg (+ $1.50) with the runny yolk and went with a large size (+ $2). Also included are three small containers with garlic, seaweed flakes, and shichimi (Japanese spice mixtures).Their signature miso soup is thick, rich, creamy, and oily. You gotta dip your fat noodles into it, and no way can you gulp down the miso soup like the tonkatsu broth because itll be overwhelming. Although the miso broth is half full in the container, it was more than enough to finish the noodles with plenty of broth leftover. The chashu don ($3.50) or the pork rice bowl is a nice add-on. Itll go well with the sriracha sauce or by itself.The shop has outdoor tables set up. Order at their website for take-outs to avoid the surcharge by going through a third-party online food ordering platform.

This place was absolutely killer. My wife and I went for dinner and we both got the Spicy Miso Tsukemen with chashu.The texture and flavor of the noodles dipped in the broth was delicious. The chashu was super tender, the soft boiled egg was marinated and so good, and the broth itself was rich and super flavorful.We really enjoyed our dinner here and will definitely be coming back!

If I was basing my review just on the food it would be five stars. They know their ramen and the price point is pretty decent. I got a large and as an avid eater it was probably more than I needed. I would probably get a regular size if I ever go back.The reason why I have to give it three stars though is the service just wasnt good at all. The soup spoons on our table appeared to have just come out of out of the kitchen and despite still being wet they were still dirty. The first one I picked up still had a layer of red oil on it and the second one I picked up still had seaweed flakes on it. Yuck.I understand the place is relatively new and quite busy, but my table also ordered a drink which we never ended up getting and had to request they take it off the bill. I hope they continue to work on their growing pains and service as the food truly was good, but in the meantime I dont see myself going back for a little bit.

Recently opened, Ramen & Tsukemen Tao is a Japanese restaurant serving just what its name suggests--ramen and Tsukemen (dipping noodles). Unfortunately when I visited, the restaurant was not yet serving tsukemen (they had just opened the prior day), so I was only able to taste the red and white miso. The taste of the ramen is very good although I personally prefer a little bit more toppings to go with my noodles. The restaurant is small and only has capacity for 16 people (10 at the tables, 6 at the bar) at a time. Once they are in full motion, I expect there to always be a wait so come give it a shot (or dont so that I dont have to wait in line). Now I dont have to drive out to Sawtelle anymore for tsukemen...

The signature Tao Miso broth from LA now opened in Buena Park (corner of Valley View/Cerritos) with new added Dan Dan cold noodle: delicious and decent price.

Great food, seated right away outside, which was a pleasant surprise with a party of 6, and though we didn’t get the full ambiance off inside which looks great, I’d highly recommend trying this place. Can’t wait to have it on a cool rainy winter day.

The ramen here is so so good. I was so bummed when they were closed on a Sunday recently! If you get a chance, this is a MUST try ramen spot. Never disappointed.

I’ve been to Ramen Tao for a few years now. The miso style ramen is excellent. The flavor of the white miso is balanced well whereas the red miso is packed full of flavor. The Tsukemen ramen noodles are a little thicker and the broth is extremely rich. Definitely recommend!!!

This ramen was SOOO good. One of my favorites if not my favorite in soCal. we tried ramen instead of tsukemen. Both the spicy white miso and spicy red miso ramen were delicious!! The ramen noodles itself were perfectly cooked! The spicy white miso noodles were thinner than the red, the red miso noodles were pretty thick. We liked the regular width one better. Its pretty spicy, and they have more spicy powder at the table. The pork belly was great, usually I hate it but they slice theirs thin. My boyfriend drained his whole bowl because he loved the broth so much. Its a small place so it takes some time to get seating, not ideal for groups. the staff was very friendly. LOVED this place and would be coming back frequently!

I was down in Cypress hungry for a quick meal. No fast food. Im over that. Then I see the Ramen sign and Tao it was.Got a pandemic style outdoors table. Nice gentleman asks a few questions, suggest I try red miso and spicy if I choose. I did.Added an egg and seaweed paper. Love that stuff. The noodle are nice and chewy. The broth perfectly briny. The toothy bit of pork a perfect counterpoint to the soft and slurpy noodles.Simple menu, amazing service and delicious food. Next time Im here for work, Tao it will be!!WTG TAO!!

The broth is very rich, the noodles thick and reasonably priced in a cozy spot sharing a strip by 7-11. We ordered 1 dipping and 1 regular ramen. Dipping is definitely the way to go. I like to mix in the toppings into the broth but the regular ramen was piled high with noodles leaving little space to maneuver. The pork is served chilled son definitely easier to warm up in the dipping ramen bowl. Everytime tasted amazing, just a matter or preference.

Is you like ramen, this place is fantastic with red and white miso broth options. The spicy tao paste is over the top spicy so be careful. The service is traditionally awesome. The atmosphere is also traditional Japanese decor with matching music. However, the outdoor seating is a couple of folding tables pushed up against the window 3 feet from the parking lot.

The ramen is amazing, the only down fall is that it is very tiny inside so not a place to go with a big group.

Review №54

This place has very really good ramen (in my top 3 places ) but very few seats . There is usually a wait at dinner and to be respectful you sit order eat pay and leave without much ya ya and blah blah because other people are waiting to eat also to enjoy this delicious food .

Review №55

2022-12-13 14:53:31

Ramen here was good, but not the best I ever had or even better than the other local ramen places in OC. The place is too small with so few tables! With people willing to wait, it is clear that the restaurant needs a larger place with more tables and chairs. I actually liked the pan fried chicken gyoza better than ramen here. Spicy edamame was really spicy. There was only one server who did everything, and I felt sorry for her. I dont know if this place is worthwhile for all the wait.

It our second time coming here and their menu got better with more selection and food combo. I have their ramen awhile back and this time I tried tsukumen. Both is savory and velvety. Noodles are al dente . Rice bowl with beef is top notch. The karage is the best we ever had. Crunchy not overly season and we have to get 2 orders. Just be ready to waIt cuz is a small place bit its worth it.

I guess I never shared about this place but one of the better Tsukemen restaurants out there. The dish is quite a hefty one but delicious. You can add stock to the thick broth after you are done with your meal. You’ll definitely get full here. Highly recommend. You can choose either the tsukemen or ramen, many variety to choose from. The white miso or red for the ramen and similar with the tsukemen.

Review №61

2022-08-23 20:26:33

Ive eaten ramen for so long, but have never had tsukemen until now. It was so delicious!! The noodles were really thick and tasty, and their miso dipping broth is incredibly rich. The restaurant is very small, which makes for a comfy vibe, however that also means youre more than likely to be waiting to get in if you come during rush hour. Incredible food, will be coming again for sure!

Always a great little spot. Miso ramen and tsukeman are excellent.

Review №63

2022-12-18 04:54:35

The tsukemen was their signature dish and of course it was delicious but that chicken in my opinion is out of this world. The pork bowl was extremely flavorful as well and its a different flavor in compare to Hiro Nori but it still great in its own way. Definitely a must try.

Review №67

2022-08-17 19:21:01

This is a proper ramen shop with both regular and Tsukemen options. The soup if filled with the right flavor and true character and doesn’t try to be “innovative”, which is exactly what we were looking for. Also a nice touch with the condiments such as garlic, seaweed flakes, and chili. Highly recommended!

Henry and Chris are amazing, I havent seen customer service like this in a very long time! They are genuinely really good people.I came early for takeout to accommodate 4 vegan clients. While they didnt open until 11, Chris came around to help me with the menu to order and really made me feel valued.The server arrived and insisted terminals didnt work until 11, but both Henry and Chris proceeded to move on to take care of me.They went far above and beyond for a first time eater here, and you bet Ill be coming back.Food was incredible thanks to these two passionate chefs. I highly recommend them!

Weve ordered takeout many times,, but this is our first visit to the restaurant. It was quite small so the additional space in front was very helpful.All the ramen looked so appetizing and delicious. Ordered the savory chicken ramen with the egg and extra side of spicy Tao. Really digged the savory broth and taste of the ramen. I thought the dish had too much truffle oil since it looked too rich. Was good to experience a very kid-friendly restaurant. Service was fast and attentive. Really had a positive dining experience at the restaurant.

Ramen and Tsukemen TAO is a pretty unassuming spot. Dont let that fool you. Its one of the only spots in Orange County that Ive visited with legit tsukemen ramen. The spring rolls and pork buns were also very good. I only gave it 4 stars because their regular ramen leaves quite a bit to be desired but everything else is great.

Amazing food, personally came here for the tsukemen and it did not disappoint. The white miso is a bit more mild and balanced. Kitchen was a little chaotic tonight, they seem short staffed given the current environment, juggling between the multiple to-go platforms and there was some mixup with orders. They forget a few small things from our order, but the flavor and quality of everything more than makes up for it. Hats off to them for doing what they can and I hope they dont disappear like many of my favorite places here in LA.

Very good tsukemen. Reminded a lot of Japan. Noodles so thick. Perfect for dipping in the rich broth. Will be back soon

1st time for me. Clean little place. Ordered the DanDan cold noodles (Tsukemen). Soo good. Suggest going easy on pepper flakes, if youre not really into spicey. Theyre hot. Small parking lot. Best to carpool.Worth going again & again. 👍🤗👍

Very good inexpensive ramen, perfect for s cool and rainy day. The noodles were really fresh and the broth extemely rich and thick (more so than any Ive ever had). Although they amply warn you about the red spice bomb, I did not find it very hot. On the other hand, do be warned that the actual temperature of the broth should not be underestimated.The restaurant is small and seats only 20ish people so plan on a couple minutes of waiting.

I live in Japan for 10 years and tasted every kind of Ramen. By far this is one of the best ramen in Southern California. I will have to share the experience with my Japanese colleagues. Unfortunately, the parking lot is small and I have to pass the the ramen for lunch when parking is full.

This restaurant gets extra points for being so nice to our twin babies. When they saw how much they liked the Tsukemen, they gave us a little extra just to let our kids munch on it. The food was great and it is obviously popular since there is typically a wait

Tried this shop out since I was visiting my grandma in the area and had some of the best ramen Ive had since my last trip to Japan. The broth here is rich and flavorful, while not feeling too heavy. Coats the noodles well, which still have a good bite. The chashu bowl is a killer deal and maybe my second favorite thing here after the red miso ramen. Will definitely be back when I return to visit family.

The server got upset at us because we didn’t want our ToGo order and the cook decided to come out and start yelling at me. I understood he was upset because I canceled the order but there was no reason to start yelling at me. If he wanted to charge me a fee that was fine, but to yell at me and in front of other customers as well?! Worst experience at a restaurant and will never eat here again.

Broth was good, but I cant believe they give barely any toppings. You have to pay extra to get an egg, which is rather odd, and you have to pay extra if you want more than just one slice of chashu. Overall, food was great, but the ambience, service, and value was definitely not worth coming back for. I would much rather go to Butaton.

Red miso ramen was good, however, the chashu don is too dry and tastes too plain.

Review №97

2019-12-29 02:30:59

Pretty good ramen but bit pricey due to the lack of competition in the area. I had the red miso ramen, which comes with the tsukemen dipping noodles. They are as thick as udon noodles. If I came back, I would try it with regular ramen noodles as the noodles displace a lot of broth.

Review №98

2019-10-25 21:07:16

Place is really small so there will likely be a wait and you have to wait outside. Outside there is no shade so unless you retreat to your car you will have to wait it out in the heat. Tsukemen was decent but I have definitely had much better. I probably wont be going back.

I love this place its close to my house and the food is amazing. Although minus one star because their hours dont hold true as they were already almost done cleaning up today at 2:40 when they say they close at 3pm door was still open but got rejected. the service is so so depending on whos working, but one thing is the food is absolutely amazing and consistent. you wont really find a much better place in this area. would reccomend as long as you dont mind a little wait cause its small.

You can taste very delicious miso tsukemen with the scent of scorching 🤤🍜The beef bowl is also delicious, the fried chicken is crispy when its freshly fried, and if its in the direction of Marina Del Rey, its very popularIts hard to find delicious tsukemen in LA, but I can recommend it here❗️Also, I wonder if I can find a thick seafood tsukemen somewhere...

I dont understand why its Tao on the road.So, the taste is probably put in fishmeal for umami. Is delicious. But will the meaty Americans understand it? When I was thinking about it, there was a white duo next to me. I had the spicy miso tsukemen. Can it be harder? Thats what I feel.There is a ramen chain store called Mita Seimenjo near Sakuragicho Station that sells tsukemen noodles, and the umami of adding fishmeal is popular? I thought. I dont know much about ramen either.I thought it was Southern California because the noodles came with lime.When I saw the amigos here squeezed lime, poured hot sauce and ate cup noodles, I thought what the hell, but I tried it with When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When I tried it, it tasted like tom yang noodles, so I didnt hesitate to squeeze lime into the soup and put it in as it was. Ill try that next time.

It was delicious. I was recommended Tsukemen so I tried it. The waitress and Amigo in the kitchen were both very friendly and made the meal fun and delicious.What made me tired of reading the reviews here is that there is a guy named XX who is proudly carrying Japan on his shoulders, although I dont know if he lives in America or not. Its embarrassing. Living in America, I feel like, ``Thats it!? Its too painful. It seems that Yakara, which represents Japanese ramen, cannot allow a non-Japanese person to open a ramen shop in America. ．．．． .I wonder what will happen to European restaurants in Japan. Even ramen originates from Chinese cuisine, so I hope people will refrain from using disrespectful behavior that looks down on people from other countries. Youll know my hometown. The words Shame on you! are so loud.I dont want to be mixed up with such a misunderstanding person, so I definitely dont want him to become a naturalized citizen and live permanently in the United States. I sincerely hope that.
